>that was the entire point of Dassault nEUROn
Done under Dassault direction, completed in no time despite involving even more countries. A success, probably because Germany didn't care enough to fuck everything up trying to establish dominance over France.

Also reportedly evaluating the conditions for withdrawing from the Eurodrone program

I'm wondering if it's because France now see an opportunity to use Aarok instead.
